How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research potential gutter installers very carefully before hiring to avoid overpaying or dealing with shoddy work. Here’s what to look for when evaluating gutter installation companies:
Assess Their Experience
Look for an established local company with many years, ideally decades, of gutter installation experience. An experienced provider will understand your local climate and weather as well as local home architecture styles and can help you find the best gutters for your house. These providers also have proven systems for safe and efficient gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Only hire a company that's fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask to see copies of their documentation before signing a contract. Proper licensing and insurance protects you from liability and indicates that the company is operating legally.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Look through online reviews on sites such as Google, the Better Business Bureau, and Yelp. Confirm that the company provides quality work and good customer service. Look for long-term happy customers to get an idea of a company's dependability. Watch for red flags like unresolved complaints or incomplete jobs. All the providers we recommend boast a good average rating across a high number of reviews.
Choose Reputable Brands
Pick a gutter installer with manufacturer certification. These providers with proper training are trained to install gutters per the manufacturer's specifications to achieve the best results.
Examine Warranties
Only pick companies that offer solid manufacturer warranties on materials, plus their own installation guarantees. Look for 5-10 year warranties on basic aluminum gutters and 1-3 years of labor coverage.
Gutter Installation Materials
Look for resilient materials – such as heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't easily rust, warp, or decay over time. Materials that can handle East Point’s local weather are best. Also check that paints and finishes have an equally long lifespan.
Questions to Ask
Be sure to ask detailed questions when comparing gutter installers. Inquire about details like these:
- How do you make sure there’s smooth integration with my current roof? Find out whether the company includes steps like underlayment replacement.
- What are the specific warranty details for labor and materials? High-quality materials often come with 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year guarantee.
- Will you provide a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and problem area fixes? Get proposals in writing to ensure you know the price of your gutter installation before the work begins.
- How will you ensure the new gutters have the right pitch and slope to reduce standing water? Proper slope and pitch significantly decreases the likelihood of overflow. Your installer should know how to correctly align your gutter system with your home’s roof.
- How long does full installation take? Most companies can usually complete a gutter installation project in around a day.
- What gutter materials do you recommend for my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Factors such as East Point's typical annual rainfall and the risk of inclement weather in your area will influence the type and size of gutter that's best for you. Learn the benefits and drawbacks of each gutter material.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Gutter guards help prevent obstructions that occur due to leaves, twigs, and other debris falling into your gutters.
Taking the time to thoroughly research all of your options will help you select the right gutter installation company for your needs. Investing in new gutters can protect against much more costly water and structural damage down the road.
